Review:
"A rollicking, robust, Rabelaisian tale of common sense and neighborliness run amok."
-Houston Chronicle " McLarty's storytelling skills shine in this ribald, riotously funny, but also poignant novel."
-David Baldacci " If you enjoy your antiheroes scruffy and your comedy topped with a dollop of Americana, buy a ticket for Art in America."
-The Christian Science Monitor
Synopsis:
-Houston Chronicle " McLarty's storytelling skills shine in this ribald, riotously funny, but also poignant novel."

-The Christian Science Monitor
Steven Kearny, a New York writer, without luck and possibly without talent, is unable to place any of his 25 immense novels and 42 unwieldy plays. After a series of professional and personal setbacks - his girlfriend loots his modest bank account and he is knocked down by a taxi - Steven unexpectedly receives a summer position as a writer in residence at the Creedemore Colorado Historical Society, where his assignment is to create a theatricalretrospective on the 100th anniversary of this Rocky Mountain town. Hoping to replenish his creative juices while enjoying a summer holiday, he instead finds himself in the middle of a bizarre Western war over water and property rights, as cowboys and yuppies, ecological terrorists and halliucinating lawmen descend upon the town for the trial of the 92-year-old gunslinger at the centre of it. Steven attempts to shape an epic drama to discover if art can somehow save the day.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "McLarty's storytelling skills shine in this ribald, riotously funny, but also poignant novel." -David BaldacciWith his first two novels, Ron McLarty won acclaim for fashioning authentic characters that hook readers from the first page. With Art in America, McLarty has invented another unforgettable protagonist in one failed writer, Steven Kearney. Hired by the Creedemore Historical Society to write and direct a play about the rural Southern Colorado town, he unwittingly stumbles into a range war over property rights, a media circus, a diabolical plan that threatens the very safety of the town-and, with the help of a little romance, newfound self-confidence. With its sprawling cast of vivid characters and spellbinding pace, Art in America confirms Ron McLarty's enormous talent. McLarty pens a funny and heartwarming novel about a down-on-his-luck writer who finally finds success and love.
